A soul pumpkin is a flowering plant which originated in southern Africa and is particularly cherished by those of African descent (also known as a soul brotha or soul sista). It is commonly served along side of fried chicken and purple drank. It is commonly known as a watermelon.

Soul pumpkin may also be used as bait when it is necessary to trap or distract a person of color.
